I know this is unethical. I’m just broke and following what is best for my wallet. I recently received an invite to a Masters program (I’ll call this Program A) that I found to be my favorite in terms of my interests. However, it was still going to cost me a bit and funding for students was limited for this program. I figured I was not going to get funded for any other Masters program I applied to anyway, so I should accept the school that is of my best interests: Program A. Well, a week after accepting this offer, the same degree but at another institution, Program B, offers me acceptance AND a full tuition waiver + stipend to work as a TA. I knew some applicants received this, but I had no idea I would get it. My financial situation is terrible and this offer is a dream for me. I accepted it, and now I’m in the process of contemplating how to word my situation to the school I am taking my word back on. Will I be allowed to take back my acceptance, and should I mention to them it’s because I am receiving funding elsewhere? I’d hope they’d be somewhat understanding of that. Also, if it’s worth mentioning, I was offered acceptance from Program A through email and I emailed back with a “Yes I accept” written confirmation. However, I have not accepted through their graduate school’s online portal. There is a decline button...I’m not sure if that’ll make it any better since I already emailed my acceptance, but I figured it was worth nothing. Thanks in advance.
